A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
It is the business of this life to make excuses for others, but none for ourselves. We should be clearly persuaded of our own misconduct, for that is the part of knowledge in which we are most apt to be defective.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 1.1 “Justice and Justification”More about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his.
In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet

“The Ruach lastly is the machine of the mind converging on a central consciousness, which appears to be the ego. The true ego is, however, above Neschamah, whose occasional messages to the Ruach warn the human ego of the existence of his superior. Such communications may be welcomed or resented, encouraged or stifled. Initiation consists in identifying the human self with the divine, and the man who does not strain constantly to this end is simply a brute made wretched and ashamed by the fact of self-consciousness.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/03/12/the-ruach-lastly-is-the-machine-of-the-mind-converging-on-a-central-consciousness-which-appears-to-be-the-ego-the-true-ego-is-however-above-neschamah-whose-occasional-messages-to-the-ruach-warn/ #above #aleisterCrowley #appearsToBe #ashamed #book #byTheFactOf #centralConsciousness #communications #consists #ego #encouraged #existence #humanEgo #humanSelf #identifying #initiation #machine #madeWretched #man #mayBe #mindConverging #Neschamah #occasionalMessages #quote #resented #Ruach #selfConsciousness #simplyABrute #stifled #strainConstantly #superior #TheConfessionsOfAleisterCrowley #toThisEnd #trueEgo #warn #welcomed #whoDoesNot #withTheDivine -
“Tomorrow morning. The storm will be well and truly a Witch by then. This is the first time I’m relying on Gaia’s control of the environment. I’m amazed at how granular I can be. But you should go see Mayor Chow and warn her, in general terms.”

Since the Witch will make lake freighter traffic inconvenient for a few days, the sea cans will start rolling out via road delivery. The shipping season will close at the end of the year and re-open start of April. So we’ll ship what we can by sea freighter, then switch just to road for the winter, picking up sea freight again in spring.”

“There’s a Witch of November brewing, which I am encouraging and focusing. When the freighter gets near the centre of the arc defined by Kincardine and Tobermory, verifiably on the Canadian side of the border, the ship will have an unfortunate accident. It will sink and at some point the pressure trigger will detonate the device. It’ll be a major international incident.

We took the short walk to the mine head, then the elevator and golf cart downstairs to Mica’s home. We ignored the Ultors posted at various checkpoint locations, and they ignored us. They were all aspects of Mica after all. Once securely in Mica’s cab, I continued the conversation.
“Details?”

CHAPTER 10
The Gale
“The storm has started,” Mica told me one morning over my breakfast. “I’m tracking an interesting freighter on the lake. It just cleared the Straits of Mackinac, originating in Chicago.”
“Cargo?” I asked.
“Something quite small and torpedo shaped, with a suspicious radiation signature.”
“A nuclear fusion bomb?”

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
But when thoughts and words are collected and adjusted, and the whole composition at last concluded, it seldom gratifies the author, when he comes coolly and deliberately to review it, with the hopes which had been excited in the fury of the performance: novelty always captivates the mind; as our thoughts rise fresh upon us, we readily believe them just and original, which, when the pleasure of production is over, we find to be mean and common, or borrowed from the works of others, and supplied by memory rather than invention.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic

The world seemed to have forgotten about MIke’s announcements. We never made the news any more, which suited us all fine. Even the usual fake news and comedy programs stopped making fun of MIke within a few days as new scandals were uncovered. We all knew it was the calm before the storm.
